OK dumb question. All of the Joker’s Asylum stories are listed as flashbacks. Is there an actual point in the timeline these stories are being told “from”, where they’d be better read, or should each issue be read where the flashback occurs?
No such thing as a dumb question! I’d place all of his storytelling for the first series right around when the first issue came out—in Sept 2008, so in Y22. And since some of the flashbacks from the second series occur post-Y22, I’d place Joker’s storytelling for the follow-up series in Y23, sometime after Batman & Robin #16.
Ah interesting. So it’s sort of a look back at past adventures from the villains’ side before we hit the final year. I like that. Thanks as always 😀
